Tradition still has a place in sports and the madison is definitely one of track cycling's core events (even though personally I'm not a big fan of it).

Well, I guess this marks a good point

It's really hard to have personal favorites in madison, as it's nearly impossible to know what's happening with non-leading teams.

How is that hard? I mean, it's not like it's teams of 20 cyclists

I do think events like the madison (and points race) really, really need the graphics to go to 2019 instead of stay 20 years behind. How hard can it be to have a live leaderboard on-screen (for example a column on the left) all race?

Welp, I support Austrian 2xAndreas team for example, and there are long periods when it's impossible to see them anywhere on track.

That was a nasty crash for Guazzini, damn. Hope she gets out without a broken hip or something.

Olga Zabelinskaya well on her way to a podium on the omnium

Commentator: "Zabelinskaya had a bit of a break in her cycling life."

Co-commentator: "Sabbatical?"

Commentator: "Yeah let's go with that."

at the London 6 Days they had that...

 

it was very useful...

I wonder if Zabelinskaya could sneak her way into the Olympics. Uzbekistan was considerably off the pace before this.
